The brainmask.auto.mgz will be our stripping, but the brain,ask.mgz will be 
yours

Thank you very much Bruce. Last questions. When I replace FS generated 
brainmask.mgz with mine, does the original also remain in the mri folder( 
that's having 2 brainmask.mgz)  or  is the original permanently replaced with 
my own brainmask.mgz ( that's only 1 brainmask.mgz which is mine)? Second, any 
reasons why you suggested I avoid " - no" flags? This is because I searched 
through the forum and it seem the " -no flag" was  encouraged whenever someone 
wanted to replace FS generated volume with their own, especially in the case of 
skull stripping. Third, should my last recon step be "recon-all -autorecon2-wm 
-autorecon3 " once I have replaced the FS generated wm.seg.mgz with mine in 
order to complete the recon-all processing? Lastly, how do I check if my 
replaced volumes are correctly aligned with FS volumes from recon-all -all ?

Thank you very much Bruce. Last questions. When I replace FS generated 
brainmask.mgz with mine, does the original also remain in the mri folder( 
that's having 2 brainmask.mgz)  or  is the original permanently replaced with 
my own brainmask.mgz ( that's only 1 brainmask.mgz which is mine)? Second, any 
reasons why you suggested I avoid " - no" flags? This is because I searched 
through the forum and it seem the " -no flag" was  encouraged whenever someone 
wanted to replace FS generated volume with their own, especially in the case of 
skull stripping. Third, should my last recon step be "recon-all -autorecon2-wm 
-autorecon3 " once I have replaced the FS generated wm.seg.mgz with mine in 
order to complete the recon-all processing? Lastly, how do I check if my 
replaced volumes are correctly aligned with FS volumes from recon-all -all ?

Thank you very much Bruce. Last questions. Any reasons why you suggested I 
avoid " - no" flags? This is because I searched through the forum and it seem 
the " -no flag" was  encouraged whenever someone wanted to replace FS generated 
volume with their own, especially in the case of skull stripping. Also, should 
my last recon step be "recon-all -autorecon2-wm -autorecon3 " once I have 
replaced the FS generated wm.seg.mgz with mine in order to complete the

Hence, you are saying I should run recon-all -autorecon1 -i -s subjid then 
replace the FS generated  brainmask.mgz with my own stripped volume. Also, 
should I run recon-all -autorecon2 with wm segmentation ( after replacing the 
stripped volume ) and replace FS generated wm.seg.mgz with my wm segmentation 
volume? Thank you.

I would run autorecon1 witth skull stripping, then replace it with your 
own stripped volume (the brainmask.mgz). It will treat that as a "manual 
edit" since brainmask.mgz will be different than brainmask.auto.mgz, and 
hence it won't override it

2016-11-06 Thread Bruce Fischl
I would run autorecon1 witth skull stripping, then replace it with your 
own stripped volume (the brainmask.mgz). It will treat that as a "manual 
edit" since brainmask.mgz will be different than brainmask.auto.mgz, and 
hence it won't override it

Hi Paul

hmm, you have to be a bit careful with the -no* flags as you want to avoid
running those steps, but you want make sure FS knows that the typical
output of the steps you skipped exists and should be used. Others can help
you with the logic of recon-all better than I can, but I think you are
probably best off replacing the relevant volumes and running from there
forward. You might need to run autorecon1, then insert your skull-stripped
volume, then autorecon2, insert your wm and lesion stuff, then run
autorecon2-wm, but I'm not totally sure since what you are doing is so
non-standard.

Hello Freesurfer, I have couple of questions. While going through the
frequently asked questions on your
pagehttp://freesurfer.net/fswiki/UserContributions/FAQ I came across a
question regarding how to integrate a skull stripped from another problem
into freesurfer (using recon-all -autorecon1 -noskullstrip -s subjid >
create a symbolic link from T1.mgz to brainmask.auto.mgz and another like
from brainmask.auto.mgz to brainmask.mgz --> after run the finall stages
of recon-all: recon-all -autorecon2 -autorecon3 -s subjid). 

First question, isn't T1.mgz, brainmask.auto.mgz and brainmask.mgz created
during skull stripping? why are they present if I included the "-no
skullstrip" flag? 

Second question, where do I insert my already skull stripped data in the
symbolic link? 

Last question, the final stages of recon-all ( recon-all -autorecon2
-autorecon3)  doesn't include skull stripping, how can I be sure my skull
stripped data was incorporated into the freesurfer recon-all process?

Re: [Freesurfer] Fw: recon-all steps question

2016-11-04 Thread miracooloz
Thanks Bruce. Another question, since " -no segmentation " flag skips the white 
matter segmentation step of recon-all. Can I also use the same logic as the 
"-noskullstrip" flag to replace the wm.seg.mgz file? That's, run " recon-all 
-autorecon1 -autorecon2 -nosegmentation -s subjid ". Then copy/convert my 
already segmented brain and name it wm.seg.mgz. After that, treat it as if I 
had freesurfer's wm.seg.mgz and finally, run " recon-all -autorecon3 -s " to 
complete the process. What do you think?  
Best, 
Paul

Hi Paul


we required the T1.mgz, brainmask.auto.mgz and brainmask.mgz volumes so 
must create them somehow. I think if you copy/convert your already-stripped 
and name it brainmask.mgz we should treat that as if you had edited our 
skull stripping and you should be able to run from their forward 
(autorecon2 and autorecon3 I believe)

cheers

Hello Freesurfer, I have couple of questions. While going through the
frequently asked questions on your
pagehttp://freesurfer.net/fswiki/UserContributions/FAQ I came across a
question regarding how to integrate a skull stripped from another problem
into freesurfer (using recon-all -autorecon1 -noskullstrip -s subjid >
create a symbolic link from T1.mgz to brainmask.auto.mgz and another like
from brainmask.auto.mgz to brainmask.mgz --> after run the finall stages
of recon-all: recon-all -autorecon2 -autorecon3 -s subjid). 

First question, isn't T1.mgz, brainmask.auto.mgz and brainmask.mgz created
during skull stripping? why are they present if I included the "-no
skullstrip" flag? 

Second question, where do I insert my already skull stripped data in the
symbolic link? 

Last question, the final stages of recon-all ( recon-all -autorecon2
-autorecon3)  doesn't include skull stripping, how can I be sure my skull
stripped data was incorporated into the freesurfer recon-all process? 

Best, 
Paul
